Jack's Mannequin-Swim (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[Cassibumpkins]

I've loved Jack's Mannequin for a long time, and when I heard this song playing in Meijer I started freaking out. It was the most amazing thing. This song has helped me through so much.

[BrittLoveShaneDawson]

I found a tital wave :O

[dkkauwe]

the whole world is watching

[Icelandicishnese]

1:32 was that Bobby with his family??

[iMaeggY]

One of my favourite lyrics..

[ERLANDmusicvideos]

Andrew is a genius. He produced my debut EP and it sounds awesome. His knowledge in the studio and passion was amazing to watch. He brought in the guys from Jacks Mannequin to play on my songs since I didn't have a band yet...I know I'm lucky as hell.. Check my channel for some behind the scene footage of us in the studio. Thanks Andrew!

[Crimsien]

Really? 1,000,000 views? I thought I watched it more than that.

[Sinebine96]

hab niemals so ein lied gehört das einen wieder so in das leben zurückholt! ich liebe es, die stimme & erst recht diese Band!!

♥♥

[JustinNuchanasaurous]

Oh my god I wanna cut his voice box out and surgically swap mine for his <3

[Aiku15]

i swear people are so stupid and blind. OH why swim, oh i don't get it, or this makes no sense. you obviously don't understand music.

[kfrizb96]

my friend saw him live. i'm so jealous.

[PushedEnvelope]

@xhoffartx Never stop swimming! We are all here for a purpose- enjoy the journey 'til you discover yours!

[DinoRidingGangster]

Why swim? Doesn't make sense

[InsaneButInControl]

@DinoRidingGangster If you swim, you aren't giving up and announcing defeat to the world. You have to fight to keep yourself from drowning in all of the negative in your life. It's like Dory's quote in Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming." it doesn't matter if you succeed in life or just live, as long as you don't give up.

[BeautyisPower23]

@InsaneButInControl. So true I think of that everyday its is all about the fact of getting up and keep swimming. And it makes you all that stronger on the days when you wish you could just float away to say no Im not giving in. I have the lyrics to this and the dory quote painted above my bed and look at it everyday to keep me going. <3

[RandomlyTaylor]

I love this song, but that must be awful hard playing piano bouncing up and down like that....

[kekoa712]

Still a good song

[KingKuisma]

"Yeah you gotta swim,For wars without cause,Swim for these lost politicians,Who don't see their greed is a flaw" such a great line two of the main problems in our world !! I love Andrew

[kekoa712]

Ahhahagaga

[kekoa712]

Hahhhh

[kekoa712]

Still my favorite song

[kekoa712]

Stillfavorite song

[EleanorRector]

[Jp1Atireme]

[kekoa712]

Lol best song ever :P

[MagDarcy]

Swim saves me everyday

[ReinholdKohler]

As much as I love this song, pause at 2:09 , donno if you guys find the expression on his face as funny as i do (:

[XxSisterWolfxX]

[dkkauwe]

here's a spark ~

[shltrev8998]

[danilovelife3]

RHS Swim,-33

[Kaylaheartsmakeup1]

R.I.P Erika you had a great fight with the cancer and brain tumor you had! <3 You lived a lot longer then they said you would. Even though you married the love of your life in September and you passed away Tuesday morning at 4:30. You fought a hard battle for 15 months. I'll never forget you! Even though you were basically planning your funeral at your wedding. I love and miss you! God only chooses the best, thats why he chose you! We'll meet again some day! <3

[RachelGeeSays]

This song saved my life <3

[PresaleTickets]

I have a pretty good Live version of this on my page, check it out. Andy is my hero

[xNothingxAtxAllx]

Anyone else think the guy in the striped shirt at 2:20 is Adam Siska from The Academy Is...? I mean, he's friends with Andrew, so it's possible...

[Camir0215]

@xNothingxAtxAllx Maybe, it does look like him.

[xhoffartx]

I'm not sure if I will survive , I Lost a friend , a cousin , and I also lost the love I loved the most. but I will swimm :(

[MelanieEtc]

there's something about this video.. the combination of the music, the words, the art, just all of it that makes it so.... beautiful.

[iPayMoreExpectLess]

1:01 Apparently Andrew's wife is courtesy of sillyandbreakfast. Seems like a good deal.

[sfrance783]

ako pud unta guzto makabalo swim

[SeptemberEveryday]

Honoured to be born on the same day as Andrew.

[Lamar154]

<pissed, I keep trying to find a music video about two mannequins who at night go on one date just to get a drink(Juice or something) and go back. It is a foreign (I think Australian or UK). Its a techno, sung with a girls voice.

[Lamar154]

@Lamar154 youtube, google, yahoo questions, and this band are not helping my search

[DukeOfDeming]

@Bobheywood yeahhh... Not. It's talking like, stress in life or, all the bad stuff in life as the water.. and the islands are solid ground and he's like no. I won't give in to to life.

[UnconventionalAqua]

Pulling an all-nighter tonight. This is beautiful <3 "You didn't come this far just to fall off the earth" WE CAN DO THIS.

[smokinggunss]

I love this song, i love my wife Helen this song always makes me strong and make strongs for her coz i only swin for her Love my wife <3 Helen ..

[fraydude27]

He has a huge mouth. O.o

[BOBHEYWOOD]

i thought that you did not believe in CLIMATE CHANGE. BUT you have this song as your INTRO. The seas are raising, and islands are going under " Choking on SALT WATER I'm not giving in I swim ". By have this song as your video INTRO, you must then believe in CLIMATE CHANGE. what do the words say ? " Choking on SALT WATER I'm not giving in I swim "

[Gexin98]

Andrew is the BEST!

[WTFwheresthefood]

i just wanna swim for my life...

[RezendeAlice]

"Just find the horizon

I promise you it's not as far as you think"

That's good to hear sometimes. Just what you need.

[musicallyamazed]

people wonder why i choose to get myself up and go to morning practices.. and kill myself in the pool everyday. They wonder why i literally have NO life outside of swimming.. they ask if its worth it. this song proves that it totally is.

[xokatem]

swim for the music that saves you when you're not so sure you'll survive. <3

[SayHelloToDarcie]

This song saves me almost everyday.

Thank you.

[purplegirraffe000]

chimneyswift this, chimneyswift that, seriously JUST WATCH THE VIDEO!

[CrazyInnerChild]

This song has gotten me through so much; depression, death of a family member, bullying.... everything. <3

My first tattoo will be "Just find the horizon", on my hip.

[Rechinba]

świetna piosenka:)

niesamowity głos

[roguetrial]

This song has meant so much to me I can't express it in words. I used to feel something so deep before when I first heard it. I'm so glad I don't feel it anymore. And it's not that the song has lost its staying power or I got tired of it, I just grew out of this state of mind I was at one point. The song didn't get me out of depression, but it did help me put some perspective on things.

[kateums120]

Im twelve years old and I've been figure skating for 8 years. For my first interpretive (skating to interpret music) im definitely using this song.

[theblacknotebook]

one day these lyrics will be tattooed onto me. this song has gotten me through everything.

[marrissamiller]

Why is this the first time I've heard this..this is truly beautiful <3

[boyslikegirls94]

OMG, I'm going to get ' I choose to swim' tattooed on me under my anchor design this June. I'm so excited!

[heynaynayy18]

i'm 18,

i just got a tattoo in my back,

"just keep your head above"

because i've been battling depression and other issues for three years

and that's the line that's always replaying through my head.

constant and unfailing.

[JustinNuchanasaurous]

@heynaynayy18 Lol

[BrittLoveShaneDawson]

@heynaynayy18 :) i will never get a tattoo( well idk) but i battle deperession too :) :(

[HouseAtredies]

@heynaynayy18 Hey, I too am 18 and have been battling depression for about 2months now. Every day is a challenge for me to wake up and tackle life. Cudos to you. (:

[95daydreams]

[crzyazn107]

and its sucks cause i have to see them at school everyday together

oh jacks mannequin i'll swim

[fiddynuma1]

@crzyazn107 Four years from now I'll respond again to this comment. You'll see the notification and I promise you'll smile. It hurts now, but in the long run it will make you a better person and you'll be thankful for it. I promise. So chin up, and I'll see you in four years, friend. (:

[KmartxD]

3. rate and comment.

[doragonsten]

Shit, i was so down today, i just broke up with the miss. and didn't know if i'd make it, that was until i heard this song

[faerielitez]

this song is so beautiful

[nashvillelights]

i met him on Friday (and cried). i asked him to write down "swim for the music that saves you" and i'm getting it tattooed in a few months on my 18th birthday.

[nashvillelights]

@RFCnathBFC awww thanks ♥

[ShirleyAnnFarley]

why would anyone think its a dresden dolls rip off? cuz swim sounds like sing?? cuz the song has a similar meaning? the melody and the lyrics are totally different. next thing you know they'll say MCR's song sing is also a dresden dolls rip off, lol

I love this song - very inspirational.

[usmcholter]

@stinkus - umm...no. The lyrics are different and the tune's not the same. They might have the same kind of meaning, but they're not the same song.

[rlh06070]

Pretty cool!



[danieltoshistheman]

heck yess <3

[tardecita1]

swim for the music that saves you when you're not so sure you'll survive .. good

[stinknus]

This is a song is a total freaking rip off of "Sing by Dresden Dolls"

[Bertsnapcrackle]

@stinknus Except that it actually holds incredible meaning for its writer. Obviously, it's more than just an anthem....

You can't "rip off" a song about your own life experience.

[stinknus]

@Bertsnapcrackle listen to the song sing and you'll know what I mean by complete rip off,

[cardigans98]

@stinknus whilst both song inspires you to keep motivated on things. I don't think it's a rip off of Amanda Palmer's song. The song "sing" works on 2 elements, the song means how singing is wonderful and how releasing it is. The 2nd one talks about the politics on how crappy the president we have. etc. Mcmahon's "swim" particularly pertains to the struggles he had whilst having Cancer. I'm a fan of both band so don't diss.

[stefanyna]

i found this beautiful song out thanks to an italian commercial, thank god!! i love it!

[benjiispro]

Hard to believe this amazing man has beaten cancer (:

[peanutbutterandsocks]

it had just started and I already loved it. <3

[zbo300000]

i dont understand people who dislike such great music. .___.

[LemonsArentSour]

Did anyone else see gabe newell in this video?

[denimorg]

it looks like andrews dad is trying so hard to keep the beat to know when to walk off haha

[LouFlarson]

love this song

[shayneorokrocks1234]

Wow.. This really explains like the life. Think about it. The light house is ur succeeding point.. and the waves are the cancer pulling u away and trying to stop u.. But u just have to swim.. Really touching song. <3 it he just had leukemia when he wrote this.. Makes u appreciate life.

[sylvester580]

101 people don't care for this video. 5,421 people do.

[nerrawasset]

This song is incredible.

[emptydialtone]

there is something wrong with the 101 people who don't like this song. i'm serious. this song literally saved my life.

[geekspawngirl]

@emptydialtone know exactly what you mean.

It's not exactly that the song makes you want to keep going. It's what the song reminds you of that makes you want to keep going. And I can't think of anyone I would trust more to find the words to remind me, after what he's been through. I am so, so grateful to him.

[oi2simon]

sisky business!!

[WrittenInTheStars5]

double like :)me&my bf's song (:(kinda)

[MelidaFlores26]

this is like my anthem when things get too tough to handle. I really love this song

[nutters34]
